The verdict

What the panel makes of it.

The Hurricane 24 ranks #19 for flat-foot runners and delivers strong cushioning that owners consistently praise for daily wear, but fit inconsistencies and a thick tongue that bothers some wearers undercut its comfort promise despite solid construction. At $66–$180, it suits runners prioritizing cushioning over a predictable fit.

Frequently asked

What buyers want to know.

  • What kind of cushioning does the Hurricane 24 have?

    The Hurricane 24 has a dual-layer midsole that is very plush and comfortable. The top foam layer is bouncier while the bottom layer is firmer and provides support, giving the shoe a lively feel despite its max-cushioned design.

  • Is the Hurricane 24 good for stability?

    Yes. The Hurricane 24 is a stability trainer that hides its support features under a comfortable, cushioned ride. Reviewers note it works for both neutral runners and those needing pronation support, though they differ on how noticeable the stability feels day-to-day depending on your gait.

  • Who is the Hurricane 24 best for?

    The Hurricane 24 is best for runners who want a max-cushioned daily trainer with built-in stability for easy miles or all-day wear. It's not suited for runners looking for a lightweight, low-stack shoe for faster training.

  • What are the main downsides of the Hurricane 24?

    The tongue is not gusseted, which can cause minor slippage or edge roll for some runners. The shoe is also on the heavier side for its category and has a bulky, high-stack look that may not appeal to runners wanting a low-profile shoe.

  • How does the Hurricane 24 fit and feel overall?

    Reviewers praise the comfortable, well-padded engineered mesh upper and secure traditional lacing. The wide platform provides strong stability without feeling clunky, and the rocker design creates a smooth heel-to-toe transition. However, some wearers experience fit inconsistencies and tongue discomfort.

  • Is the Hurricane 24 a good choice for a first marathon?

    The Hurricane 24 can work as a marathon shoe if you prioritize max cushioning and stability for long, steady efforts. It is known for comfort on daily wear and easy miles, though its heavier weight and bulk may be a trade-off for runners seeking a more nimble marathon shoe.
